Why it's dangerous
ChokingStrangulation
The toy has a small part (metal ring) which can easily detach. A child could put it in the mouth and choke. Furthermore, there is a long cord attached to the toy, which may get wrapped around the child's neck and lead to strangulation.
The product does not comply with the requirements of the Toy Safety Directive nor with the European standard EN 71-1.
